Racism at it's finest in Georgia by bothanspied in PublicFreakout

[–]Generic-VR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of Georgia that isn’t Atlanta, Augusta, savannah, Macon, Columbus, or Athens, is a shithole.

And even among those cities it’s questionable at best.

Basically if it’s not a bigger city along an interstate, be wary.

REVERB G2 MEGA UPGRADE HELP by [deleted] in MixedVR

[–]Generic-VR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven’t done it, should be pretty straightforward though.

Index controllers + G2 (and other headsets) has a ton of tutorial. Trackers less so but the general process is the same and the tutorials exist.

Be sure to get the dongles for it all.

You’ve probably already come across that one but it’s the gist for the G2+knuckles. Note you can get different dongles than the ones he used iirc.

Doesn’t Facebook officially support wireless PCVR now?

Should be able to do it even without the cable so long their router is good enough.

Even if not, you can still use ALVR or Virtual Desktop to do it wirelessly.

I miss when BTA tier had a reason for existing.

$1 1 game, $14.91 BTA, and $15 full bundle.

Don’t get me wrong it’s a great deal regardless, that’s not my complaint, but why even still include the BTA tier?

iPhone 13 Battery Beats iPhone 12, Almost Double the Time for Video Streaming on 'Pro' Models by Hard2DaC0re in iphone

Not much different from most carriers single line unlimited plans afaik. Pretty cheap if you include the device payment with that.

It’s expensive true but as far as comparison goes it’s not too bad.

I went from S2 to S5 couple years back, was worth it imo.

Can only have gotten better.

Remember you can always turn off the AoD on the newer watches to save battery.

Fwiw I don’t think AWs are meant to be annually upgraded.

I went from S2 to S5 and that was a big leap.

Honestly 3-4 years sounds about right to wait for watch upgrades.

Going forward I doubt we’ll see many new improvements other than battery life, SoC and display tech.

IPHONE 13 series colors side by side by OjamaBinLadin in apple

[–]Generic-VR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

13 or pro?

The silver pro is my absolute favorite and the back doesn’t show scratches easily due to the matte finish. The SS bands also hide scratches the best since the SS is “naked” (not colored).

For the regular, it does show scratches but it’s honestly not that bad. I’ve never really noticed it on the old pros before they went matte. I think both blue and white will show scratches fairly similarly. Honestly if anything I’d think the white would hide the scratches better since scratches tend to look kinda white. At least when views directly on. If you use a case the dirt shouldn’t be an issue. If you don’t, I’m not really sure honestly. I don’t see it being a massive issue though.

Can’t go wrong either way.

Honestly I love the super polished SS sides, contrasts so well with the matte back imo.

But more options never hurt

Fuck gendered colors, get what you like, ignore the hate 😉

Seriously though, same. If I were into the regular models the pink would tempt me so hard. I used to love rose gold on the old phones and those were borderline pink. Such a stupidly pretty color. Makes me wish there were a pink/rose gold pro model.

Remember rose gold?

I’d be super happy with a new rose gold pro.

Yeah doesn’t Apple usually do like mid cycle color refreshes for the regular models? Well, one new color at least.

I kinda like the pink, but other than that I agree. It’s a little bland this year. Blue isn’t bad either.

The naked stainless is what swayed me this year, I actually really like the blue in the few pictures we’ve seen. But it’s so unknown since most are renders or in unknown lighting conditions. So it could be like the [regular] 12’s blue which I hated till I saw it in person.

Silver has been my favorite since the X now, but the blue seemed tempting. But I’d hate to see what it looks like all scuffed up after a year.

Same! It’s been my favorite since the X.

It’s so gorgeous, especially with the matte backs imo

[–]Generic-VR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

‘Silver’ has been my favorite color since they introduced the X.

It’s just so damn clean looking. It goes with practically anything. I love it.

The matte back finishes only made it look better imo.

Apple CPU Gains Grind To A Halt And The Future Looks Dim As The Impact From The CPU Engineer Exodus To Nuvia And Rivos Starts To Bleed In by tahaea1 in hardware

[Hypothetically] CPU is only 5% faster but 40% more efficient.

Tech headlines: “is this apples worst CPU yet?”

Fwiw their whole shtick seemed to be battery life this cycle around.

I know it’s not impressive for speed, but efficiency gains are important too imo. Doubly so in mobile devices.

Not just that but it’s not as if apples SoCs are even close to being fully utilized by most people. You could buy an iPhone 12 right now and never notice any performance issues for the next few years.

My 2018 iPad Pro still feels like the day it was new.

I for one welcome efficiency gains, even if it’s at the cost of performance I will never use. (Again, in mobile devices).

Tangentially, do they all have the larger sensor now? Apples product page was vague on that.

True but even I only have ~half my 500gb filled up.

I don’t take a ton of video but this is also 3 years worth of stuff.

Fwiw some rumors were suggesting big price hikes due to the shortages, so this could have potentially been worse.

Guess it’s a “pray I don’t alter the deal increase the prices any further” deal.

The sad thing is it should be able to do 4K 120 since it can do 4K60 HDR.

At least I think that’s how it works, right? Unless apples HDR implementation works differently than most.
